India has spent a lot of money since independence in order to make the economy self-sufficient and overcome the constraints presented by the country's constantly rising population. A large portion of this money is spent on workforce training and development, which includes offering high-quality technical education. The government has created a number of Indian Institutes of Technology, National Institutes of Technology, and Indian Institutes of Information and Technology as part of this initiative, in addition to a number of reputable central institutions that the country already had. It has also resulted in the private sector founding a number of reputable technical institutes under the auspices of several state-level technical universities. As a result of all of this, the number of technical graduates has risen dramatically over the years. This paper aims to assess these technical graduates on the basis of employability, i.e., whether they are market ready, whether they require additional training to be able to work on professional assignments independently, or whether there is a gap in their knowledge.
